Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior

As a freshman, I was always told, “Freshman year’s the worst. You have to adjust, but once you’re past that, you’re fine.” Sophomore year rolled along and people told me, “Sophomore year’s the most work, but if you survive that, you’ll have smooth sailing from there on out.”
Now, as I begin my junior year, people tell me that this is the worst year because colleges are watching your every move. Direct quote from an older friend: “Junior year sucks.” Don’t get me wrong–I’ve liked high school. But which year is the most challenging?
And may I note, that judging from what I’ve seen and heard, senior year does not qualify as an answer.
